He is the richest man on earth. He could buy single-handedly every member of congress. He could buy alot any company on earth, by himself. He could buy Walmart and fire everyone (I think, and I wish he would).
Microsoft would not be able to due to the amount of freeware around. I replace alot of things on my computer, even notepad with a more able program (metapad). Give me a bare Windows install without all the crap and I can make it into a highly customized, stable platform.
Many web sites in their registration forum require this. However, when you right click > properties on many websites the name of the word itself is in the address! This would easily be used by anyone with a clue about writing a bot.
Many projects I work on managers tell us almost nothing about what they want. With the descriptions they give it could be a game that involves you moving packages from one rabbit to another.
It's not the grunts, its the managers who have no idea what they are doings, and we wonder what the hell they are doing in IT.
With government programs there is almost (and many times) 0 oversite. For all they know the contractors are taking vacations to Jamacia with that money.
Not everything has to be opensource you know. Many programs these days have very good plugin systems which removes the need for a developer to opensource it.
Anyone who trys linux for the first time when setting up MythTV is put off. It's a freaking NIGHTMARE to get mythTV to work witt anything. MythTV has not even been updated for a whole year.

He got some before he married. Hell, anyone who says they "waited" are blatent liars.
I'm sure Microsoft could come up with a kick-ass OS, but they cant because of the HUGE base of programs which depend on the 9x/NT framework.
If DRM and the requirement to have a DX9 video card is what users want then he's right on.
The power he wields is unimanginable.
Bill Gates talking about security? Thats like John Ascroft talking about his assistant's rack.
Bill Gates talking about secuity is like the corner whore talking about the evils of premarital sex.

I suggest you try it out on your website.
Email, books, images, video, domain name registration and more...When will they run everything ont he internet?

The first worthwhile thing G4 has done since Leo left.
Tell me when they get a 3.4ghz P4 and a Radeon x850 in one of those.
Good point. I don't know how foam would travel at 700mph, I think the atmosphere makes that impossible.
They must be using some steel-foam or something because I couldn't kill a rabit with the foam they stick in computer boxes.
I'm pretty sure they sign a paper that makes NASA not responsible if they die.
Not a useful shape? They have to steer and slow down in the atmosphere you know. Or maybe you thought they landed at 10000 miles an hour?
How is a n00b supposed to know how to use CVS or apt-get?
